1. **State the problem:** We are given the midpoint $M(11.5, 4)$ of segment $VW$ and one endpoint $V(9, 3)$. We need to find the coordinates of the other endpoint $W$.
2. **Formula for midpoint:** The midpoint $M$ of a segment with endpoints $V(x_1, y_1)$ and $W(x_2, y_2)$ is given by
$$M = \left( \frac{x_1 + x_2}{2}, \frac{y_1 + y_2}{2} \right)$$
3. **Set up equations:** Using the given midpoint and endpoint, we have
$$11.5 = \frac{9 + x_2}{2}$$
$$4 = \frac{3 + y_2}{2}$$
4. **Solve for $x_2$:** Multiply both sides by 2
$$2 \times 11.5 = 9 + x_2$$
$$23 = 9 + x_2$$
Subtract 9 from both sides
$$23 - 9 = \cancel{9} + x_2 - \cancel{9}$$
$$14 = x_2$$
5. **Solve for $y_2$:** Multiply both sides by 2
$$2 \times 4 = 3 + y_2$$
$$8 = 3 + y_2$$
Subtract 3 from both sides
$$8 - 3 = \cancel{3} + y_2 - \cancel{3}$$
$$5 = y_2$$
6. **Final answer:** The coordinates of the other endpoint $W$ are
$$W = (14, 5)$$
